can't really judge the new format yet, but compared to previous "opening fight into the house" episodes I think the inability to edit slow fights, get better post-fight responses and the rubbish audio made it pretty poor.

Also Dana's mini chats getting the inside track from the coaches ringside seemed awkward and flat.

The two stoppages for the early knockouts seemed a bit too quick as there wasn't even time to see if the person was stunned before the ref called it.

Hopefully the series proper will work fine, but then the frat house reality contrivence / prank wars aren't generally great TV.
